This is a “mini guide” for Tap Tap Fish – AbyssRium, with only the Ancient Egypt Event (2018) information, split out to be faster & easier to load on mobile devices. Feel free to add to your homescreen for easy access!
See the main guide for a more comprehensive set of information.

General Event Info

Events slowly rollout (every time, yes it sucks), so don’t panic if you don’t get it. Expect it by the end of the week after it first starts rolling out.

We never know when the events end until less than a week before they do, they’re usually at least 4 weeks long though.

Currency is Ankhs, currency from prior events will be preserved (but invisible) for later events, so feel free to save up.

Song of the Moon is still disabled, but it’s not a gachapon fest like Valentine’s either.

New mechanic: Hermit Crab to auto-generate some event currency. The 1000 Currency bonus for the daily 5000 taps mission was removed in favor of the crab.

See here for how to use Nox Player to automatically collect event currency on a PC/Mac so you don’t have to destroy your fingers.

Ancient Egypt Hidden Fish

As always, buy and wear all the theme items before hunting for hidden (or normal!) fish in an event and don’t remove any until you’re done unlocking hidden fish. The most common error people make by far is having the wrong things equipped.

If you’ve already made Ancient Seahorses, you’ll have to create 3 new ones while wearing the costume items. Always buy all theme items first when a new event is out, and wear them until all hidden fish are unlocked.

1,200 Anhk

The crab has to be active (dancing and earning ankhs) during your purchase and still active as you close all the “new friend” boxes. Cast the crab and immediately buy the ray or it may not count.

Slumbering Hermit Crab

The Hermit Crab is the secret to making this event possible even without stored event candy, you can even do the event in a week with minimal work!

The crab comes with the Ancient Egypt dye (200 ankhs) and will not appear if it is not equipped. It passively generates Ankhs while the game is open after paying it a smaller initial cost.

It can be leveled, for a fairly small number of Ankhs each level (less than one “cast” worth per level), and requires buying a certain number of Event fish to reach certain levels. These goals should be met as soon as possible as the Hermit Crab is the easiest way to get event currency and you’re required to have the 30 fish it requires to unlock some of the other Event fish anyway.

At level 10 (max) it will generate 2000-2200 Ankhs per cast. Each cast requires you to tap 20 Ankhs from fish to “power it up” (the ankhs are not consumed by casting). You can and should cast the Hermit Crab 10 times per day, a total of only 200 taps for Ankhs. This will get you 20,000 Ankhs daily just for casting the crab without any ads at all!

Ancient Egypt Event Customization Items

These are in the Palette menu next to the Camera button as always. Buy them before playing the event as they’re cheap, fun, permanent unlocks, and almost always required for hidden fish.
